The care given to pupils at an infants school has been rated （评定）as outstanding in a recent Ofsted report. Inspectors （视察员）visited Avondale Infants School in Kettering in June and were pleased with what they found.

    Schools are graded between one and four, with one being outstanding, and staffs（全体职员）at Avondale were delighted to be to be given an overall（总的）grade of two.

    The reports states that the school, which has an above average number of children who are entitled to free school meals, is improving.

    It also focuses on the good progress made by children who enter the school with below or well below average standards – the standards at the end of Year 2 are now the best since 2004.

    The report states: "Pupils' behavior and personal development are good, being enhanced（增强）considerably by the vibrant（活跃的）atmosphere within the school."

    Headteacher Jean Wilkins is also praised as "the driving force behind developments and the vision of the future. Under her exceptional guidance, a conscientious team is intent（专注）upon raising standards."

    Mrs. Wilkins said that staff at the school, which has 163 children aged from four to seven, pride themselves on the support and guidance they offer the children.

    She said: "We're extremely pleased with these results. We put a lot of emphasis（强调）on the well-being of the pupils to raise their self esteem（尊重）and make sure they enjoy being at school.

    "We have focused carefully on where we needed to make improvements."

    Inspectors said that the school could improve further through closer working with the parents of some pupils who do not attend regularly.
